What This Policy Covers<\/h2>\n<p>This policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share personal data when you use the Innovators Team platform, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Community features<\/strong>\u00a0powered by BuddyBoss (profiles, groups, activity feeds, messaging)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Co-Innovation Journey<\/strong>\u00a0features (HCD challenges, submissions, dialogues, events)<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI Assistant<\/strong>\u00a0features (AI-powered chat, Google Drive document integration)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Learning features<\/strong>\u00a0powered by LearnDash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It does not cover third-party websites linked from the platform. Those sites have their own privacy policies.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Data We Collect and Why<\/h2>\n<p>We only collect personal data that is necessary for the purpose stated. Below we describe each category, the data involved, and the legal basis under Article 6 of the GDPR.<\/p>\n<h3>3.1 Account and Profile Data<\/h3>\n<p><strong>What we collect:<\/strong>\u00a0Name, email address, password (stored as a cryptographic hash, never in plain text), profile photograph, biography, professional background, location, languages, social media links, and any other fields you complete in your profile (xProfile fields).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why:<\/strong>\u00a0To create and manage your account and provide you with access to the platform.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legal basis:<\/strong>\u00a0Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)). Your account is the contract.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Retention:<\/strong>\u00a0Your account data is retained for the duration of your membership and deleted within 30 days of a verified deletion request. Some anonymised metadata (e.g. contribution counts) may be retained in aggregate form.<\/p>\n<h3>3.2 Community Activity Data (BuddyBoss)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>What we collect:<\/strong>\u00a0Posts, comments, and replies in the activity feed and group feeds; group membership and roles (member, moderator, administrator); private messages between members; media and file uploads; friendship connections; notification preferences and read status.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why:<\/strong>\u00a0To operate the social community features of the platform, facilitate collaboration between members, and send you notifications you have opted into.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legal basis:<\/strong>\u00a0Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)) for core community features. Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) for security monitoring and fraud prevention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Retention:<\/strong>\u00a0Community content (posts, comments) is retained for the duration of your membership. Private messages are deleted within 30 days of a verified deletion request. Media and file uploads are deleted on request or on account deletion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note on public content:<\/strong>\u00a0Content you post in public or open groups may be visible to non-members and search engines. If you delete your account, we will remove your name and profile but some content (e.g. discussion threads others have replied to) may be retained in anonymised form to preserve conversation integrity.<\/p>\n<h3>3.3 Co-Innovation Journey Data<\/h3>\n<p><strong>What we collect:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Challenge submissions \u2014 your written responses and file attachments for challenge activities<\/li>\n<li>Peer comments and votes \u2014 comments you leave on others\u2019 submissions and votes cast<\/li>\n<li>Sub-team membership \u2014 which sub-teams you belong to within a challenge<\/li>\n<li>Workshop attendance \u2014 RSVP and attendance records for challenge-linked events<\/li>\n<li>Dialogue responses and replies \u2014 responses you submit to public or group dialogues, and replies to those responses<\/li>\n<li>Dialogue subscriptions \u2014 if you subscribe to a dialogue as a non-member, your email address<\/li>\n<li>Join requests \u2014 your request to join a facilitator-moderated group<\/li>\n<li>Audit events \u2014 a log of key actions (e.g. phase changes, submission reviews) for challenge integrity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Why:<\/strong>\u00a0To operate the Co-Innovation Journey: managing challenge phases, enabling peer collaboration and feedback, running public dialogues to gather community input, and ensuring facilitators can moderate and review work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legal basis:<\/strong>\u00a0Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)) for registered members. Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) for dialogue subscriptions by non-members (opt-in email subscription).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Retention:<\/strong>\u00a0Challenge data is retained for the duration of the challenge and your membership. Dialogue subscriptions for non-members are retained until you unsubscribe (HMAC-secured unsubscribe link in every notification email). Audit logs are retained for 12 months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note on dialogue visibility:<\/strong>\u00a0Public dialogues may be visible to visitors who are not members of the platform. Responses you submit to a public dialogue may be seen by the dialogue host and other respondents, depending on the moderation settings applied.<\/p>\n<h3>3.4 AI Assistant Data<\/h3>\n<p>The AI Assistant is a feature a group\u2019s own administrator or moderator can turn on for their group. It lets members have a conversation with an AI assistant, optionally grounded in documents from a Google Drive folder the group has connected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Two ways a group can connect Google Drive.<\/strong>\u00a0A group\u2019s moderator chooses one when setting the assistant up:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Connect your own Google account (preferred).<\/strong>\u00a0The moderator signs in with their organisation\u2019s own Google account and picks one folder using Google\u2019s folder picker. The platform only ever requests Google\u2019s\u00a0<code data-epitaxy-inline-code=\"\">drive.file<\/code>\u00a0permission scope \u2014 this is Google\u2019s most limited Drive scope: it grants access solely to the one folder explicitly selected, and nothing else in that Google account\u2019s Drive. The connection (a Google refresh token) is stored encrypted in our database, scoped to that one group. A group\u2019s own moderator or administrator can disconnect it at any time from their group\u2019s Manage \u2192 AI Assistant screen, which also revokes the token with Google immediately \u2014 no need to email support.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In this case, the folder itself always remains in your organisation\u2019s own Google Drive \u2014 it is never copied or transferred into Innovators Team\u2019s own storage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What we collect:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chat messages \u2014 every message you send to the AI assistant, and the assistant\u2019s responses. Saved as a Google Document in your group\u2019s connected Drive folder (in a \u201cChat Logs\u201d subfolder). Not stored on Innovators Team servers.<\/li>\n<li>Uploaded files \u2014 files you share directly in the AI chat interface. Saved to your group\u2019s connected Drive folder. Not stored on Innovators Team servers.<\/li>\n<li>Google Drive document content \u2014 text extracted from files in your group\u2019s connected Drive folder, read temporarily into memory as AI context. Read-only, in memory during the request. Never duplicated or stored on Innovators Team servers.<\/li>\n<li>Usage metadata \u2014 timestamp, group ID, and approximate token count, used to enforce a daily fair-use allowance per person. Stored briefly in the platform\u2019s own database (cleared automatically each day) and also logged for operator reporting. Retained for up to 12 months.<\/li>\n<li>Connection metadata (OAuth path only) \u2014 the Google account email of whoever connected Drive for the group, shown to that group\u2019s moderators so they know which account is linked. The underlying access token is never visible to anyone, including platform administrators, other than in encrypted form.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Why:<\/strong>\u00a0To generate AI-assisted responses tailored to your project context, to save conversation logs for your own reference within your group\u2019s Drive, and to monitor platform usage for capacity management.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legal basis:<\/strong>\u00a0Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)) for providing the AI feature. Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) for usage monitoring and capacity management.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How the AI works:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>When you send a message, your message and any relevant document excerpts from your group\u2019s connected Drive folder are sent securely to Anthropic\u2019s Claude API.<\/li>\n<li>Anthropic processes the input and returns a response. Anthropic does not use data submitted via its API to train its AI models. Your conversations are not used to improve Claude or any other AI model. Anthropic may, however, retain inputs and outputs for up to 30 days for safety and security monitoring purposes, after which they are deleted.<\/li>\n<li>The conversation is saved as a Google Document in a \u201cChat Logs\u201d subfolder within your group\u2019s connected Google Drive folder. This document is accessible to group administrators and anyone with access to that Drive folder.<\/li>\n<li>The platform does not make any automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects based on your AI conversations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>What the AI does not do:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The AI does not browse the internet or access any systems beyond the single Drive folder your group has connected.<\/li>\n<li>The AI does not have access to other groups\u2019 data, other groups\u2019 Drive connections, or other users\u2019 private messages.<\/li>\n<li>The AI does not score, rank, or make decisions about you as a person.<\/li>\n<li>The platform does not retain copies of your group\u2019s documents on its own servers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Who controls this data:<\/strong>\u00a0Because the documents remain in your organisation\u2019s own Google Drive under either connection method, your organisation acts as the\u00a0<strong>data controller<\/strong>\u00a0for the content of those documents. Proportion Global acts as a\u00a0<strong>processor<\/strong>\u00a0when it accesses that content to provide the AI feature, under the terms of this policy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Retention:<\/strong>\u00a0Chat logs and uploaded files are retained within your group\u2019s Google Drive folder, under your organisation\u2019s own retention policy. Innovators Team does not hold independent copies. Usage metadata is retained for up to 12 months. If a group disconnects Google Drive, we delete the stored connection token immediately; documents already saved in your Drive are unaffected and remain yours.<\/p>\n<h3>3.5 Learning Data (LearnDash)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>What we collect:<\/strong>\u00a0Course enrolment, lesson completion, quiz responses, and course progress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why:<\/strong>\u00a0To track your learning progress, issue completion certificates, and enable facilitators to monitor cohort progress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legal basis:<\/strong>\u00a0Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Retention:<\/strong>\u00a0Retained for the duration of your membership, or for up to 3 years after course completion if required for accreditation purposes.<\/p>\n<h3>3.6 Technical and Analytics Data<\/h3>\n<p><strong>What we collect:<\/strong>\u00a0IP address, browser type and version, device type and operating system, pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URL, and session cookies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why:<\/strong>\u00a0To keep the platform secure, diagnose technical issues, and understand how the platform is used in aggregate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legal basis:<\/strong>\u00a0Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) for security and platform stability. Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) for analytics cookies (Google Analytics): you are asked for consent on first visit via our cookie banner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Retention:<\/strong>\u00a0Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months.
